The works in this exhibition span critical moments in Ross’ career and have never previously been exhibited.

Charles Ross: Mansions of the Zodiac is an exhibition of Ross’ artwork inspired by sunlight, starlight, time, and planetary motion. Charles Ross emerged in the 1960s with the advent of minimalism and earthworks, and is considered one of the preeminent figures of land art. This exhibition opens as Ross nears the completion of his earth/sky work, Star Axis, a monumental architectonic sculpture, and naked eye observatory located on the eastern plains of New Mexico.

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’s creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.
